104 STAT. 2492 PUBLIC LAW 101-549—NOV. 15, 1990 establish test procedures and conduct engine tests as provided in this subsection. Not more than $500,000 per year is authorized to be appropriated for each of the 5 subsequent fiscal years. "(5) Any fees collected under this subsection shall be deposited in a special fund in the United States Treasury for licensing and other services which thereafter shall be available for appropriation, to remain available until expended, to carry out the Agency's activities for which the fees were collected.". SEC. 219. REFORMULATED GASOLINE AND OXYGENATED GASOLINE. Section 211 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545) is amended by adding the following at the end thereof: "(k) REFORMULATED GASOLINE FOR CONVENTIONAL VEHICLES. — "(1) EPA REGULATIONS. — Within 1 year after the enactment of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the Administrator shall promulgate regulations under this section establishing requirements for reformulated gasoline to be used in gasolinefueled vehicles in specified nonattainment areas. Such regulations shall require the greatest reduction in emissions of ozone forming volatile organic compounds (during the high ozone season) and emissions of toxic air pollutants (during the entire year) achievable through the reformulation of conventional gasoline, taking into consideration the cost of achieving such emission reductions, any nonair-quality and other air-quality related health and environmental impacts and energy requirements. "(2) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. — The regulations referred to in paragraph (1) shall require that reformulated gasoline comply with paragraph (3) and with each of the following requirements (subject to paragraph (7)): "(A) NOj EMISSIONS. —The emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) from baseline vehicles when using the reformulated gasoline shall be no greater than the level of such emissions from such vehicles when using baseline gasoline. If the Administrator determines that compliance with the limitation on emissions of oxides of nitrogen under the preceding sentence is technically infeasible, considering the other requirements applicable under this subsection to such gasoline, the Administrator may, as appropriate to ensure compliance with this subparagraph, adjust (or waive entirely), any other requirements of this paragraph (including the oxygen content requirement contained in subparagraph (B)) or any requirements applicable under paragraph (3)(A). "(B) OXYGEN CONTENT. —The oxygen content of the gasoline shall equal or exceed 2.0 percent by weight (subject to a testing tolerance established by the Administrator) except as otherwise required by this Act. The Administrator may waive, in whole or in part, the application of this subparagraph for any ozone nonattainment area upon a determination by the Administrator that compliance with such requirement would prevent or interfere with the attainment by the area of a national primary ambient air quality standard. "(C) BENZENE CONTENT. — The benzene content of the gasoline shall not exceed 1.0 percent by volume. "(D) HEAVY METALS. —The gasoline shall have no heavy metals, including lead or manganese.
